Chapter 5
You Don’t Ask How to Say It?!
Many people seem to have misconceptions about Her Royal Highness the Princess.
They think that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been protected by the royal family since childhood, so she shouldn’t understand worldly affairs, and even with her vast magical power, she would be easily manipulated.
But they don’t know that from a very young age, Jessica secretly lived in the slums for a period of ti.
In that place filled with the evil of human nature, she witnessed the complexity of human nature and understood that one cannot judge the truth of matters through others’ casual words.
More importantly, this cultist currently has no understanding of the Magic Knights’ regulations and system.
In this situation, two knights must be present simultaneously to ensure there are no traitors among them.
Simply put, he suffered from not knowing the system.
So when this Magic Knight appeared, Jessica didn’t imdiately expose his conspiracy.
Instead, she made Henry stay away from this matter.
She didn’t want Henry to get involved in danger.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Her Royal Highness the Princess really struck hard. If that person hadn’t been wearing armor, he would probably have turned into charcoal.”
In a house so distance away, Henry was observing this scene.
Seeing Jessica walking toward the farm gate, he also turned and walked to the backyard of the house.
Under a fruit tree, a man with strange tattoos was hanging there naked.
His body was covered with scars, looking like soone had dealt him a deadly blow.
Henry frowned and let out a long sigh.
“Brother, your mouth is really tough. I’ve whipped you into a spinning top and you still won’t talk? You’re the most iron-blooded man I’ve ever seen!”
Saying this, Henry picked up the whip from the ground, preparing to continue interrogating.
Seeing Henry’s actions, that Cultist wanted to die.
He weakly cried out, his voice carrying so grievance.
“Talk, talk, talk about what! You didn’t even ask anything, you just ca up and whipped . What the hell am I supposed to say!”
“Huh? I didn’t ask?”
Henry took a sharp breath, his face also showing so remorse.
After all this ti, it was still his own blunder.
“Well then, just tell how many of your brothers are in the farm, and what the secret codes are and all that.”
“If I tell you, will you still whip ?”
“This was just a misunderstanding. When it’s all over, I’ll get you into the system – three als a day guaranteed, plus regular schedules. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied, brother.”
*****
Jessica forcefully pushed open the farm gate, and what t her eyes was a horrifying scene.
Several corpses were tied to wooden stakes, and candles on the ground were arranged in a circle.
The dim candlelight cast the Cultists’ shadows on the walls, and the eerie whispers along with the uncertain light and dark faces made Jessica feel uncomfortable.
In a daze, Jessica seed to hear voices whispering in her ear, trying to enchant her to sacrifice everything.
She gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, continuously transmitting magical power to the blade.
Without any need for negotiation, she decided to kill these people on the spot!
The long sword in her hand condensed flas, and the originally gloomy and dark farm was instantly illuminated by firelight.
“So Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived. We apologize for not welcoming you properly.”
Behind that group of Cultists, a figure slowly walked out, obviously the leader of these people.
The other party’s face was painted with strange lines, and his arms were covered with dense knife scars, looking terrifying.
“Who are you people? What are you trying to do here?”
“We are people who study Dark Magic! Today’s purpose is to lure you here and use you as a sacrifice for offering!”
The leader hadn’t spoken yet, but soone in the crowd spoke up to explain.
Jessica hadn’t expected this group to actually want to use her as a sacrifice.
It’s just that the leader seed to have a bad temper.
He suddenly reached out, and a black tentacle shot out from his sleeve, grabbing one of the Cultists from the group!
That tentacle tightly gripped the person’s neck, his voice ice-cold.
“Who gave you permission to speak?”
“I… didn’t…”
The grabbed Cultist’s head went blank from suffocation, and he tried his best to explain, but the leader had no intention of letting him continue.
“People who can’t control their mouths can die.”
As the words fell, that black tentacle directly twisted his neck, then threw him out like garbage.
Seeing this, Jessica stopped wasting words and swung her sword directly at the leader!
The Cultists all retreated backward, leaving a large open space.
They were all certain that their leader, who had undergone the baptism of Dark Magic, would definitely win.
“Brothers, the leader looks like he’s handling this with ease. How is he so powerful?”
Soone in the crowd asked.
“Brother, you’re new here, right? Don’t you know that inside this barrier, the leader’s injuries can recover infinitely.”
“Holy shit? Does that an the leader has no weaknesses?”
“Hey, you could say that in a sense.” The Cultist who was explaining looked sowhat proud. “But speaking of which, I seem to have discovered a problem recently.”
“What problem?”
“The Magic Circle’s stability isn’t very high. Once it’s damaged, I’m afraid the leader will suffer backlash.”
Everyone exclaid in surprise—this was the first ti they’d heard this theory.
But fortunately, these were all their own people here. Who would stab their own brothers in the back?
Watching Her Royal Highness the Princess retreating step by step, the Cultists were already imagining the scene of using her as a sacrifice.
When that ti ca, their magical power would definitely receive a leap-like improvent.
Jessica hadn’t expected the other party’s regenerative ability to be so strong. Even though she had cut him several tis, he would imdiately recover after dodging.
At the sa ti, she could also feel that the other party’s barrier was suppressing her magical power.
She reached up to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, continuing to search for a way to break through.
anwhile, a figure had sohow already approached the farm’s Magic Circle.
Although the farm’s main gate was very tempting, he still chose to climb in through a window, then silently blended into the crowd.
He just didn’t know if the brother he had knocked unconscious was catching cold in the tree right now.
From the conversation just now, he had roughly understood what was happening at this farm.
Although these Cultist brothers looked fierce with their inhuman, ghostly appearances, they spoke nicely and were willing to answer questions for newcors – they were actually quite decent people.
If it weren’t for that scapegoat helping him block earlier, he would probably be giving that Cultist leader a knife scraping his butt along with Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess still struggling desperately.
Logically speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess shouldn’t be encountering this kind of event now. It should be in the early-to-mid ga period when Dark Magic-related missions gradually appear.
However, for Henry, Her Royal Highness the Princess absolutely could not die.
Not to ntion the Princess’s thigh was very comfortable to hold onto, but as a key character in the ga’s plot, she couldn’t die here either.
BOOM!
Her Royal Highness the Princess’s figure suddenly flew out.
She spat out fresh blood from her mouth, and so equipnt burst out from her body, making her entire person look disheveled.
Henry was almost ready to pinch his philtrum to keep himself conscious.
If this continued, Her Royal Highness the Princess really wouldn’t survive.
The leader walked step by step toward Her Royal Highness the Princess, that horrifying face showing a maniacal smile.
“Princess, give up struggling. I will make you beco part of my body, to live on forever.”
Jessica couldn’t move at all and could only watch helplessly as that filthy hand reached toward her.
She desperately closed her eyes, feeling an inexplicable fear in her heart.
She was going to die here!
Would anyone save her?
Henry’s figure flashed through Jessica’s mind.
Right, she seed to have promised that guy she would let him enroll in school. If she died, he probably wouldn’t even be able to persist through the Assessnt Exam, right?
She was about to die, so why was she still thinking about other people’s affairs?
“Princess, our agreent isn’t complete yet. How can you give up first?”
A voice rang out from above everyone.
Although the other party wore the sa style clothes as the Cultists, his actions were completely out of place with everyone present.
Jessica suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked up at that figure, her expression showing surprise.
She seed to have never thought that he would actually appear here!
“How are you here?”
“Of course to save a lost girl! And then give her a warm embrace!”
This guy should really just go die!
